Black Like Me: Racism Is A Foolism Misunderstanding of Man All men are created equal... or are they?

I started my period sometime after Christmas on a Sunday morning when I was in seventh grade‚ (I only know it was after Christmas because I ruined the skirt we had bought me for my Christmas outfit from Limited Too‚ I was SO MAD).

The key leanings from this class and the readings will certainly resonated with me throughout my social work career. The readings and class discussions have taught me aspects of racism I had never considered‚ mostly because I am white.
